Hodgedogs, aka Larah Johnson, is a clinical nurse. Born in America but living in Sweden, by day she handles medical matters, but by night she takes some of the best video game screenshots youâll ever see.
The images youâre seeing below werenât edited or manipulated in Photoshop in any way. Instead, like many other screenshots artists (and PC gamers in general), Hodgedogs uses ReShade to boost the visuals of the game while itâs actually running
Theyâre not taken using a gameâs built-in photo mode, either. âI actually donât use in-game photo modes much anymore, since many of their camera movements are very restrictedâ, she tells Kotaku
âInstead I use various tools. The main purpose of the tool system is to hijack the in-game 3D camera by overwriting values in its camera structure with our own values so we can control where the camera is located.â This means messing with things like its pitch/yaw/roll values, field of view and the cameraâs look vector. âI actually have a friend by the name of Frans Bouma that creates various in-game tools that I use more than any in-game photo mode, and I can highly recommend them to anybody.â
Iâve posted a number of Hodgedogss images below, but you can find more at her Flickr page.
